Gods Man

The most important work of major American artist and illustrator, Gods' Man is a powerful, passionate novel told entirely through images. Lynd Ward (1905-1985) invented the concept of a wordless novel with this evocative, text-free 'woodcut' narrative. Autobiographical in nature, the novel recounts Ward's struggles with his craft and with life in the 1920s. The intricate woodcuts transcend all barriers of language, and fresh details reward the eye with every review. Until now, Gods' Man has been long out of print, available only in high-priced original editions. This top-quality, low-cost republication of Ward's masterpiece will enchant book-lovers of all ages. Unabridged republication of the classic 1929 edition. 139 black-and-white illustrations.
